Question

A. Express the following using hyphenated compound adjectives.

Example: a book with three hundred pages
Answer: a three-hundred-page book

1. a basketball game played in forty minutes

2. a science report made up of five pages

3. a concert that runs for two hours

4. a school year consisting of ten months

5. sleep for eight hours​

Answer 1

Following the example, describe the noun using a hyphenated adjective. Take the describing phrase, add hyphens, and put it in front of the noun.

Problem 1: a basketball game played in forty minutes. The noun is game, and it’s being described as taking forty minutes. So we take forty minutes, add hyphens —> forty-minute (we drop the s by convention)

So it becomes a forty-minute basketball game
